BRACKET.

Application filed May 28,

Ihis invention relates to a bracket con struction and more particularlyto an improvement over my co-pending application filed March 28, 1924,Serial No. 702,629, and has for its primary object the construction ofa. bracket which may be readily turned to operative and inoperative position and when in either position to be ca pable of holding the highchair tray in lifted position.

An object of the invention is the provision of a device which will holdor lock the bracket in either its operativeor inoperative position.

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the simpleinexpensive manner of forming the combination lock and support for thebracket.

lV'th these and other objects in view the invention will be betterunderstood from the following detailed description taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawing wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved bracket.

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation.

Fig. 3 is a plan view showing one position of the bracket in full linesand its other two positions in dotted lines.

Fig. 4c is a .sectional View on the line td of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a detailed vertical sectional view on the line 55 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the collar.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the manyconstructions of my invention the numeral 1 designates an ordinary highchair having a swinging tray 2. The back of the chair is provided withthe sockets 3 and 4. The uppersocket 1 has therein a plurality ofradially arranged recesses 5. A cylindrical upright 7 is rotatable inthe sockets and extending in a horizontal plane from this upright is abracket 6 which includes a lower member 6 extend ing in substantiallyparallel relation with the bracket 6. This upright has arranged thereina plurality of holes 8. My improved device for holding the bracket inoperative or inoperative position comprises a collar 9 in which ismounted a pin 10 adapted to be inserted in any one of the holes 8. Thiscollar is provided with lugs 11 for interchangeable insertion into therecesses depending upon whether the bracket 6 is to 1924. Serial No.716,464.

extend over the chair as illustrated or at right angles thereto.

The member 6 of the bracket 6 is provided with a plurality of lugs 12,13 and 1 1 so that the tray 2 can be engaged and held in lifted positionin either of the three positions of the bracket.

It is, of course to be understood that various forms of lock devices maybe used to hold the bracket in its various positions and the bracket maybe constructed in various other manners than illustrated. therefore, Ido not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in theclaims hereunto appended.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. In a device of the character stated, an upright, means for mountingthe upright on a high chair for sliding and rotary adjustment means forsecuring the upright in adjustment, a bracket extending from theupright, a member extending from the upright in parallelism with thebracket and adapted for reception of a swinging tray mounted on thechair when the tray is raised, and tray receiving and retaining memberscarried by the upright at opposite sides thereof and disposed at rightangles to the first mentioned member. 7

2. A bracket including an upright, means for mounting the upright forsliding and rotative movement a bracket extending laterally from theupright. a lug on the bracket in alignn'ient with the upright andopposed lugs attached to the upright and extending therefrom uponopposite sides of the same. all of said lugs being adapted to reoeiveandretain a swinging tray mounted on a chair upon which the upright ismounted.

8. In a device of the character stated. an upright, means for mountingthe upright on a high chair for sliding and rotary adjustment, means forsecuring the upright in ad ju'stment. a member extending from the upJOHN A. TESK.
